AIIMS Bhopal Senior Resident Recruitment 2026: 92 Posts, Apply by 15 November

AIIMS Bhopal Senior Resident recruitment is open for 92 Senior Resident (Non-Academic) posts, and the form closes on 15 November 2026. The All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bhopal — an Institute of National Importance — issued advertisement AIIMS Bhopal/SR (Non-Acad.)/2026/08 on 30 October 2026, inviting online applications from Indian nationals for these posts on a purely temporary basis. You apply online only, through aiimsbhopal.edu.in, and the institute plans to hold interviews in the last week of November 2026.

AIIMS Bhopal Senior Resident: what the post offers

These are temporary posts, and the notification is plain about that. The appointment is initially for one year only, extendable up to three years. The total period of Senior Residency, including service already rendered elsewhere, cannot go beyond three years, and a candidate who has already completed three years will not be considered.

The pay is fixed in Section D of the notification at Rs 67,700 per month (Level-11, Cell No. 01, 7th CPC) plus usual allowances including NPA.

One exception: the 28 posts in the second list — serial numbers 27 to 40 in Annexure-IV — carry a shorter appointment of at most six months, extendable to at most six months. The 92 posts are therefore not one uniform tenure, so check which list your department falls in before you apply.

The work is clinical service at AIIMS Bhopal, in Saket Nagar, Bhopal. Appointed candidates may have to work in shifts and can be posted anywhere in the institute. Private practice of any type is prohibited once appointed, and every selected candidate must pass a medical examination before the offer stands. Government servants need a No Objection Certificate and must apply through the proper channel, or the candidature will be cancelled.

Who can apply for the AIIMS Bhopal Senior Resident posts

You need a postgraduate medical degree — MD, MS, DNB or MDS — in the discipline you are applying for, recognised by the National Medical Commission, the Dental Council of India or the National Dental Commission, or from an Institute of National Importance, plus valid registration with the National Medical Commission, the State Medical Council or the Dental Council of India. Both are judged as on the date of the interview, and only candidates declared passed in the qualifying degree examination on or before that date are eligible.

Super-specialty departments accept the relevant MD, MS or DNB as well. For Trauma and Emergency Medicine, the notification accepts a postgraduate degree in Medicine, Emergency Medicine, Surgery, Orthopaedics, Paediatrics or Anaesthesiology. For Medical Oncology and Haematology, it accepts MD or DNB in Medicine, Paediatrics, Radiotherapy or Pathology, and DM or DNB in Medical Oncology or Haematology.

The upper age limit is 45 years as on the interview date, relaxed by three years for OBC candidates on the Central List, five years for SC and ST candidates, and for persons with benchmark disabilities by ten years for General, thirteen for OBC and fifteen for SC and ST candidates.

The 92 posts are spread across 40 serial numbers in Annexure-IV. General Medicine and General Surgery have eight each, Anaesthesiology five, and Medical Genetics, Ophthalmology, Paediatrics, Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation three each. Reservation follows Central Government rules for SC, ST, OBC, EWS and PwBD candidates, with 4 per cent held for persons with benchmark disabilities. If no candidate is available in an advertised category, others, including unreserved candidates, may be considered for up to 44 days.

How to apply

Apply online only, at aiimsbhopal.edu.in, between 30 October and 15 November 2026. There is no offline form at this stage. Keep a print-out of the filled form to bring to the interview.

The fee is Rs 1,500 for General, OBC and EWS candidates, paid by demand draft only, drawn in favour of EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, AIIMS, Bhopal. SC, ST and PwBD candidates, and women candidates, are exempt, and the fee is not refunded in any circumstance. Applying for more than one department means a separate fee for every application.

The interview schedule will be published on the institute website for the departments that received applications up to 15 November 2026, and the interviews are tentatively set for the last week of November 2026. The written test or interview is held at AIIMS Bhopal, with no travel or daily allowance. Ties are settled by date of birth, the older candidate ranked above the younger one.

If you miss the 15 November deadline, the notification still lets you report directly on the interview day, with the certificates that prove your eligibility and qualifications and a duly filled application form, made available offline in the office of the Registrar. That walk-in route only works for departments whose interview schedule has been published, so keep checking the website.

At the interview, produce the originals and one set of self-attested copies of fourteen documents: the demand draft, identity and address proof, five passport photographs, the date-of-birth certificate, the undergraduate and postgraduate marksheets and degrees, internship completion and attempt certificates, the registration certificate, and for foreign graduates the FMGE certificate, plus the No Objection Certificate if you are in service, the category certificate if you claim reservation, and any publications and experience certificates. Without the originals, you are not allowed into the selection process.

What the notification does not say

First, the department-wise split is only partly spelled out in this article. The notification lists the 92 posts across 40 department entries in Annexure-IV, and this article names only the largest departments — General Medicine 8, General Surgery 8, Anaesthesiology 5, and several with 3 — so check the notification itself for the department you hold a degree in.

Second, the exact interview dates are not announced. The notification says only that interviews are tentatively scheduled for the last week of November 2026, with the detailed schedule to be uploaded on the institute website in due course.

Third, the closing date needs a word of caution. One social-media summary of the notification prints 13 November 2026 as the last date, but the notification itself, and every other source that quotes it, says 15 November 2026. Go by 15 November, and apply well before it. The same summary gives 31 October as the opening date, where the notification says 30 October.

Fourth, the notification does not name the written test pattern or syllabus, if a written test is held, nor how many candidates will be called for interview against each vacancy. And the institute reserves the right to vary the posts or cancel the advertisement without prior notice, so the 92 posts are the advertised figure, not a promise.

Never pay anyone who promises to get you a seat. Genuine recruitment never charges a fee beyond what the notification itself names, and this notification names Rs 1,500, payable by demand draft only, for General, OBC and EWS candidates, with SC, ST, PwBD and women candidates exempt. No one outside AIIMS Bhopal can offer you a place in this recruitment.

If you are tracking government openings with November deadlines, the RRB NTPC Undergraduate recruitment has 1,688 clerk posts, with applications open till 13 November, and the AFCAT 01/2027 entry has 379 vacancies in the Indian Air Force, with the form running till 11 December.
